      He is, as a flaming racist he is embarrassed to be attracted to colored women, and tries to hide it. 🤣🤣

      PS:
      I know he just doesn’t want colored people to have more children.
      But the other way is funny too IMO.

          I’ve always thought either were silly - it implies that ‘white’ isn’t a color. Even if you say ‘white is the absence of color’ that itself is a color.

          ‘hey Bill, what did you paint your fence as’ ‘I painted it not a color’ ‘ah, quite basic, no?’

            The absence of colour is not a colour.

            That said, white people are generally actually various shades of pinky beige, black people are generally various shades of brown, but our language uses colour-based terminology to refer to ethnicity anyway.

            Complaining that white is a colour, so whites should be included as coloured people, is kind of silly in that context.

            Especially if you remember that the term “coloured people” originated as a way to stop people who had black and white heritage from getting any of the benefits of their whiteness.

              It’s not ‘I want to be included too’ but like, the entire thing is silly. We are all some shade of a color. To single out a group and call them ‘colored’ when we literally all are is just, wat.

              I mean it’s not like the people who were at the helm of racism were particularly intelligent, but like come on. It’s almost comical how smooth-brained they were (are). If I pulled out a pack of crayons and pointed to the white one, their worldview may implode.

                I definitely agree that the whole racism thing is absolutely stupid. A whole kingdom of cruelties based on nothing important.
